Chow Mein - Setting the record straight! | The Woks of Life

- This is our take on a delicious Chicken Chow Mein made with thin Hong Kong style noodles. The noodles get pre-cooked so they're a little bit crispy and a little bit tender when they go into the wok with plenty of chicken, vegetables, and a tasty mixture of soy sauce and oyster sauce. If you've ever tried supreme soy sauce stir fried noodles / chow main, you'll love this dish!
We've seen a lot of "chicken chow mein" out there that looks suspiciously like lo mein... so, we set the record straight on what exactly "chicken chow mein" is because it means different things depending on who you ask and who's cooking!

Thank you so much for the recipe! I can’t wait to make it! Hey, I love the jazz music at the end, being as I’m a jazz nut!❤
Love how you explain everything!!!!! And by the way, I DO NOT FIND YOUR MUSIC ANNOYING!!!😘
That looks so delicious. I wish I was in your house when you cook Chow Mein, because you’re making me hungry. ❤
I've made this exact dish from this video/recipe about 3 times now and it gets better every time! Love this recipe - very easy to make and a huge crowd pleaser
So growing up on the east coast we had noodles like this,, not crisped at all and thicker in restaurants and it was called Lo Mein. When I moved to the west coast the same thing including the wider noodles was called Chow Mein. What I had always called Chow Mein was what is known as American Chow mein now. (it is an American Dish).
there's a lot of treating "chow mein" too much like lo mein and that's why we made this video! ho fun is a thicker wide rice noodle too which sounds to us like the last dish you described
No not ho fun.. just a bit wider than what you have there..
Looks delicious! Thank you for this video. 👍👏
Eye love your website and video lessons. I worked for a Chinese family for many years and all of The Woks of LIfe is truthful, honest and cares about you.
I finally made this last night and it was PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
hurrah!!!! love to hear that! Thank you so much for reporting back 🤩🥰
I love this and am going out to get the ingredients!!! Thank you for educating us on your fabulous meals.
Thank you...looks wonderful.
This looks AMAZING and I MUST make this soon!!! The Chinese restaurants here in New Jersey serve "Chow Mein" that is a mixture of soggy vegetables and a bland clear-ish sauce that comes with a side of deep fried noodles. YUCK!!!!
So THANK YOU for clearing this up!!!
P.S. I still wish I could be adopted into this family! ❤
hehehe thank you, Kerry! 🤗
For me as a Westerner, the huge variety of noodles available at Asian grocery stores continues to be utterly confusing. Thanks for helping me to understand Chow Mein and Hong Kong style noodles. Will surely try this recipe soon!
Thanks, Mark!
This looks delicious! Gonna try my hand in making this for dinner next
Your brilliant recipe looks like a genuine keeper for yummy noodles & healthy meat & veges. I like thinly sliced chicken best & your video is a game changer & now my fav go to recipe ❤👍☺
Delish! Thanks for sharing!
I love this. I’ll make it. Thanks
This was so delicious!!! Will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
Woohoo!! glad you loved it! :)
You did such a good job
I subscribed 🎉
thank you Sherri!
So hard to find recipe !
YUMMM!
So it was mentioned that 4oz of dried is equal to 8oz of fresh. Does this apply to other forms of dried Asian style noodles. Dry would keep better in my lifestyle currently but I don't want to be being fresh so often and eating it go bad if I don't get to it. I also don't want to make way too much per the recipes either lol. Since it's only two of us.
Yum - noodles are the best.
Love Singapore rice noodles too ❤❤❤
Great demo
Thank you so much! :) Singapore noodles is one of our favorites too!
@@Thewoksoflife1 - would love to see you make this. Please
Looks great Bill! Any reason one could not substitute the chicken for pork tenderloin or beef if you wanted pork or beef chow mein?
no problem! you can totally make that substitution!
Can you use the fat chow mein noodles and cook it the same way. Or those noodles cooked a different way?
Yummy! My grandpa always made us the crispy version shown here and we would always order the pan fried with a crispy noodle "disk" (like liang mian huang) at restaurants. Figuring out the difference in names between these and lo mein was so confusing for me before!
It really is confusing for anyone, let alone a Chinese American person!
Great video! I can see what I have been doing wrong.

Good to see Woks of Life again. I used to have email recipes sent to me in the early 2000's but lost track. I remember making your tom yum soup and it was amazing.
